Considering the size of Bordeaux, there are plenty of hotels and other forms of accommodation to suit everyone’s needs. There are a number of hotels situated near the train station, but they tend to be either big chains or rundown, nondescript independent motels. Among the big chains are the Soretel Saint-Jean and Ibis Saint-Jean.

Where to stay

Most people will want to choose a place to stay in the city centre, where all the bars, restaurants and theatres are. The hotels here also have the most character and style, many of which are housed in restored 18th century mansions. The options are limitless in the city centre. Lovely bed and breakfasts in historic buildings can be found at such places as Une Chambre en Ville and La Maison Bord’eaux. Luxurious rooms exist at the Holiday Inn Meriadeck and the Grand Hotel Francais. If you are on a tight budget, there are plenty of smaller family hotels.

Peak season

Bordeaux definitely has its peak tourist seasons, when rooms are fully booked and the crowds make life unpleasant. The French have several holiday periods including Christmas; from February to March and mid-July through August. Prepare to battle with legions of schoolchildren on tour and families seeking respite from the cities during these times. Most of the region’s wineries close during October for grape harvest, which means you won’t be able to tour their chalets during this month. Consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of autumn and spring, which are particularly pleasant times in Bordeaux. If you do travel during the peak seasons, book your room ahead of time by using an online reservation service.
